In addition to providing in-home Grandfather clock repair for Arlington Texas, I also cover the greater Dallas and Fort Worth areas as well as the surrounding counties. Pick-up and delivery for other clock repair is only available for the Arlington, Mansfield and Kennedale areas. Call for rates and scheduling. All work is by appointment only.
Packing
When sending a clock for an estimate, to prevent damage, remove the pendulum and wrap it seperately. Do not include exterior case pieces that are removeable. Do not include winding keys. Chime rods (if any) must also be cushioned against excess vibration. Wrap the clock well with bubble wrap and fill the box voids with strofoam peanuts. It needs 4"-6" on all sides of the clock. Then double box it with another 2"-4" of fill on all sides. Include a brief note with your authorization number and any problems you are having with the clock.
For specialized advice on packing your clock, please mention that you would like custom instructions when you contact me for shipping authorization.
You should insure the package with the carrier for what you feel the reasonable replacement value of the item is, in case it gets lost or damaged in transit. Both UPS and the U.S. Postal Service offer insurance, and other carriers may do so as well.
If you cannot or do not wish to package your clock yourself, expert packing and shipping services are available at Mail Boxes Etc. and The UPS Store, which have locations throughout the country.
